Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Just as Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were secretly shedding tears, Li Jiuzhou was surprised by a piece of news.

Li Jiuzhou was reviewing documents when he suddenly heard the voice of System Dog Seven in his mind.

"Host, an emergency has been reported. Do you wish to receive the intelligence?"

Li Jiuzhou raised an eyebrow. He had long since blocked the system, but even though it was blocked, he could still receive some important messages because of the settings.

The main problem is that there are too many things that Li Jiuzhou knows without being blocked, so he dares not listen or do anything about them.

The system will only report situations when he or his family members are in danger.

Li Jiuzhou thought to himself: "Accept the intelligence."

Li Jiuzhou quickly received the intelligence. After Gou Qi recounted what Yan Bugui had been doing recently, he withdrew.

Li Jiuzhou was very surprised after hearing this, and secretly sighed that Yan Bugui had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and that he was ruthless in his schemes.

And just like that, her beautiful appearance ended Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's path to promotion.

According to Gouqi's intelligence, if Yan Bugui hadn't made a move, the two of them would definitely have been promoted to deputy section chiefs this year, and would have also made a fortune.

As a result, he ruined everything.

Of course, Gou Qi also explained why Yan Bugui did this: Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were too ruthless.

Li Jiuzhou found it somewhat amusing that someone would ruin their future and wealth for a few hundred yuan; it was truly a terrible loss.

If Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong knew this was the situation, would they go crazy?

Li Jiuzhou felt that if the two of them knew, they would probably kill Yan Bugui; there was a 70-80% chance they would do it.

Destroying someone's future is like killing their parents; this enmity is far from over.

Gou Qi also suggested that Li Jiuzhou leak the news to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, so that they would fight like dogs and maybe even beat their brains out.

After considering it for a moment, Li Jiuzhou decided not to say anything.

It wouldn't be fun to say it out loud. If Yan Bugui ever offends me, then I can tell Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong a thing or two.

Li Jiuzhou is neither a gentleman nor a good person.

But it's more interesting to watch them fight; it's also nice to occasionally meddle and stir things up myself.

Back home, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong remained calm, because this matter couldn't be discussed.

Saying it will only cause more trouble.

Yi Zhonghai is having a bit of a headache now. He promised his apprentice that he would get his wife into the factory.

The key issue is that he has run out of slots and has lost a lot of money.

If Tong Jie is allowed to work in the factory, I will have to pay for a workstation myself.

Yi Zhonghai was extremely frustrated; what kind of mess was this?

But once you've promised, you have to do it, so you can only swallow your pride and bear it.

The next day, she still had to bite the bullet and went to Yang Ligong to ask him to arrange a job for Tong Jie.

Yang Ligong looked at Yi Zhonghai's haggard face and finally agreed.

If he doesn't agree, morale will collapse. Yang Ligong can manage to get a mere workstation.

Since we're going to hold a gift-giving event, let's make it look nice:

"Xiao Yi, what do you want your apprentice's wife to do?"

"How about the cafeteria? I'll just be a kitchen helper," Yi Zhonghai replied directly.

This made Yang Ligong a little upset; of all the places to go, he had to go to the cafeteria.

Objectively speaking, it would definitely not be a problem for Yang Ligong to arrange for someone to work in the canteen.

But one thing is very important: we need Li Jiuzhou's consent, and we even need to talk to him about it in person.

Li Jiuzhou would definitely agree; he had to give the factory manager face, it was just a kitchen helper job.

But you can't ask someone for help empty-handed; you should at least bring them a pack of cigarettes and some tea.

Yang Ligong waved for Yi Zhonghai to leave. He couldn't very well tell him that he had to give gifts when he went to Li Jiuzhou for a favor, could he?

Is that reasonable?

Frustrated, Yang Ligong had no choice but to personally go to find Li Jiuzhou.

Li Jiuzhou looked at the person sitting opposite him, and at the tobacco, alcohol, and tea on the table, and wanted to laugh. He deliberately asked Yang Ligong:

"Factory manager, what does this mean?"

"Little Li, it's nothing, just help me burn some calories."

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation." Li Jiuzhou didn't care about the consequences and accepted it directly.

"He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," so Li Jiuzhou still had to ask Yang Ligong what he needed him to do. At most, he would treat him to a meal; that's what he used to do.

"Factory manager, please let me know if you have any instructions."

Yang Ligong was quite pleased with Li Jiuzhou's politeness and immediately said:

"It's nothing big, I just want a kitchen helper position. I can put it in any cafeteria, and I don't need you to help me out."

Li Jiuzhou thought it was something serious:

"You don't need to come all this way yourself for such a small matter. Just send someone over and I'll take care of it for you. Factory manager, you're being too polite."

Yang Ligong was even more satisfied after hearing Li Jiuzhou's words, and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, I just happened to have nothing to do, so I came out for a stroll. As long as it can be done, that's fine."

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll go take a look elsewhere."

"Okay, I'll see you off."

Li Jiuzhou got up and saw Yang Ligong out of the office. He picked up the letter of introduction on the table and was a little surprised to see that the person being recommended was Tong Jie.

He was certain that this Tong Jie was the one he knew.

The information clearly states the place of birth and current residence, and also provides a very detailed description of the family situation.

Li Jiuzhou knew that it was Yi Zhonghai who had made the move.

But it didn't matter. He was just a kitchen helper; he wouldn't hold back from giving him anything. He simply had someone call Sha Zhu over.

After Sha Zhu arrived, Li Jiuzhou gave him the letter of recommendation:

"Zhu Zi, make the arrangements. Aside from the first canteen, you can send this person anywhere. Get it done quickly so no one will ask you to pull strings."

Sha Zhu picked up the letter of recommendation, glanced at it, and immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"Isn't this Jia Dongxu's wife? She's working as my kitchen helper?"

Sha Zhu quickly figured it out:

"Senior, do you mean Yi Zhonghai won't be satisfied with Tong Jie just working as a kitchen helper in the cafeteria?"

Li Jiuzhou nodded:

"That's why I'm urging you to get it done quickly. Once it's done, you'll have an excuse. Otherwise, if Yi Zhonghai asks you to help arrange for Tong Jie to be your personal kitchen helper, would you be happy?"

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?" Sha Zhu muttered. "But, senior brother, I'll listen to you, hehe."

"Getting into the First Canteen isn't that easy, let alone helping out in the kitchen. Don't even think about it."

"Okay, then let's get on with it." Li Jiuzhou waved his hand.

Sha Zhu immediately took care of it. Now, the special hospitality is being handled by his wife, Qin Huairu; no one else can come.

This task must be done by someone you can trust.

Tong Jie is indeed a good person. She has been married into the family for many years and has worked hard without complaint, taking good care of her husband and raising her children.

The problem is that her husband's family isn't exactly good people; they wouldn't dare let her into their private kitchen—that would be like a mouse entering a rice granary.

Sha Zhu acted very quickly, immediately assigning Tong Jie to work as a kitchen helper in the fifth canteen, which was the furthest from their first canteen.

Out of sight, out of mind.
